Dated Boise Gua7ds, z§rli Sept. ig6B. ,I( .1: One. of the Professors. of Merseburgh, desirous of exciting-the emulation-.olAns', pupils, lately intro duced to them a bpy agedse'ven years andlen months. The - bhild listened very attentively to the Greek les son. given by the Professor, who requested him to continue it.. To .the astonishment of all thesicholars, they heard itirnxxplaima passage in Plutarch, with which- ,he was previously unacquainted, to the gene.... rat'siitisfaetion of , all T.Prdient. AlCsesar's Cothinenta- . ties were* then piitinto hisJiands, and he translated; with the greatest perspicuity, .the passages If hich had puzzled the other pupils. He - was Also- examined, during thistranslation, on the , subjeet of the analyti calpart, And acquit ted . himself extremely well.—He likewise translated from an Italian book, t hich a pet .. . ! son present happened to have . with him, and after 'wards conversed in that. language. This conversa tion proved that he possessed extensive geographical and historical attainments. Fortunately for this won derful child, he enjoys a good constitution and ex cellent health. A few evenings ago a young woman who was ser vant to 'a gentleman between 60 and 70 years of age, at Denham, near'Eye, in Suffolk, delivered her :,elt of *a, child. ' She then cut off its head, and after wards its aribs, legs, and thighs,. at the different joints, and put it in a handkerchief. The next morning she endeaVoured to pursue he domestic avocations as usual, but was taken ill, 'and under the necessity agoitw to bed. At four o'clock that after noon she expired. Previous to her dissolution; how; ever, the handkerchief and its contents were shown her. She then confessed that the child was her own, and that she was the sole perpetrator of the horrid and unnatural deed. A sword tiAll was lately caught in the river Ouze, near St. German's, which measured nearly nine feet in length.—Ti;e late spring tides aye,supposed to be the cause of its being so far up the stfearb.

Row fai r hiciees the hopes which they hold forth have almost, invariably proved the poignant regrets of the relatives, of numbedess yiaims; snatched prematurely from their families, and from the world, s u ffi c i en tl y at test. It is therefore, with so much. the more satis faaion that we call' the attention of medical men, to a discovL-ify announced in Ft sem inteeesting• lure of Valvgiu, to which we think too tnucb pub licity cannot ,be.given. The inhabitants of the distri& of Hoejaede Cas-- talla, in the southern part of the province, possess an excellent remedy against the bite of - the- , viper, composed of the .sea-hollyi (erogia'm carq,pestre), viper's! bugloss. ,(echium vulgare), : Anad 7 won /alys sum spinosuni).; and Cretan balm (Melissa Creticu)* in the following.manner 'rite plants are taken when they are beginning to Tun t 9 seed, and dried in the shavc till all their hu e midi!) , is evaporated. On this each is separately pounded, the pel,vder.is passed through a hair sieve, nnxed in equal parts, and put away in well-corked bottles. It is, to be observed, that none of the roots must be employed, except those of the sea-holly, which possess very great strength. respect to the use of this remedy, it is in elispensably necessary that it should be administered immediately after the infliction of the wound. The common, dose:fer a.,rrian is one scruple, for a dog a drachm; and .the vehicle used for both is wine o r No particular dieteneed be observed, only the powder must .be taken ,morning and evening for nine days successively. From time immemorial, the inhabitants of the 'above-mentioned distria have made pse of this paw der, as a specific for the bite of Vip ers , with.uniVer7 sal success ; till, at length the celebrated Cavanilles resolved, to try its effects against the bite of mad e dogs. He lost no•time in communicating his ideas to the physicians and medical men in the province, and had tiro satisfaCtion to see- that his philanthropic views were Prodnaive of the happiest results. Thus, for instance, at the farm e e los Puchols, in the district of the little town of Sierra den-Garceran, a man of sixty, named Miguel Puig, and a boy of twelve years old, named Vito.Sorella, were, in'Ja nnary,- 1796, bitten, the one on the hand, the other on the cheek,- in such a manner, that both lost a considerable quantity of blood. The physician of theplace, Don Bias Sales, - was not sent for till three days after the - accident ;. he nevertheless resolved to try the powder; e which produced, etfeas that sur passed his' expeaatipii, faa, the two palients perfealy recovered of the bites,, without .manifesting the slightest symp s . :toms of hydrophobia, and till the present time (in 1802), durinVan interval of silt years, nor the least alteration has - been-observed in their health. -T,lte aanal maftness of the dog seems to have been fully proved, , for _several goats and sheep, which were like Wise bitten by him, died in 40 days, with all ;the Signs of the most complete hydrophobia. In 1799, at the village of Tornesa, in the distria 'of the Same town, a man of 56, named Francisco Basel, his daughter; 'Manuela Baset, 'aged twenty three, and another man, named Joaquin Eauro, were bitten, the two former on the ,hand, and-the .latter on the middle finger. Baset and his dalghter itn rnediately applied to Don Thomas Saban r, the Sin - - geen of their vilbige, 4io furnished them with:pow det stifficielir toe hine days. On the contrary, Fauro, who lived at another village, looked upon his , koutid as a mere trifle, and rook. no farther notice of it. What was .the ' , consequence ?- Baset and his daughter were petit-Z:11y cured; and have fot; these three yeary eipetienCed not theileast alteration in their health; whereas the unfortunate Faurd died sixty days after the accident, with all - the sy►nptonis of the most confirmed hydrophobia., Another rnad-log in Swap den Garceran;' had bitten several .. otherdogs, pigs ; The powder was administered to some .. of`ttiem'for eleVen succes sive days, and till the present day, during the space of - nearly two years,• no ill consequeneeS whatever have been observed. All the aninials to whom the powder was .not given, died raving mad in tskenty fiVe-days. One dog, to which it was found impossible. to ad minister more than four doses, did 'not . go mad but fell into a kind of lethargy;. and refused to eat till at length he died on the sixtieth day, but without any of the symptoms of actual hydrophobia.- • - So much lot the experiments with a remedy, which, as far as I kndw, has never been ittauded among the Six or' seVen medicines for preVenting the cansequences.. of he bite of • mad dogs. 'lt seems, -however;' to much the more deserving . of the attention zet/i& physicians of every country; since its . efficady againSt the venom of the Viper is fully confirmed by the ai)orience of ages. •.(! • * Undet this danie the plant is described by gorneiSotanists; and amon4 the rest by Laniark ; but Cavanilles proves, Stem the structure of the catix, and other circumstances, that ix it properly the 4Veptla marryGlia.
